Papa Wemba has died, apparently on stage last night. He was only 66.
Prog fans will, of course, especially remember his work with Peter Gabriel. RIP. |

How cool to share a birthday! I've been more affected than I expected too Drew. Maybe for different reasons. Since he grew up near me and lived in this city he was always a presence and we all took him for granted. Not being the kind of music I go for usually, I never dived much into it beyond the surface, I figured I could do so anytime, what's the rush? Wasn't expecting him to go so soon. I've never felt the city as affected as they are by this one. People don't want to let him go. He was very good to the fans and people around here are just crushed. |

I was listening to Kornheiser on the radio yesterday and some guy drew the parallel between him and Bowie. Well actualy more than that.. he called him the American Bowie. Makes one sad in a way that Bowie had a final say.. artistically.. and Prince obviously didn't. One wonders what he would have done, how we would have expressed himself.

I'm finding myself way more affected by the death of Prince than I expected. Though I was not an avid fan, I always liked him and am totally in awe of his talents. Also, I always secretly thought that he and I would connect because of one extraordinary thing we have in common: we were both born on June 7, 1958. As a matter of fact, he's the ONLY person I've ever known to share that birth date with me. Always wondered what we might have in common, how our perspectives might align. And now, his death really makes me feel fairly intensely my own mortality . . . . Whoa . . . .

Oh, and yesterday I forgot to quote my all-time favorite line about Prince, by the movie critic Pauline Kael (in her review of Purple Rain):
"I'm disposed to like Prince because he is, as a friend of mine put it, 'the fulfillment of everything that people like Jerry Falwell say rock 'n' roll will do to the youth of America'."

Glad to hear that all your loved ones are safe, but very sorry to hear that so many are not. What is the best way to donate funds to help? The Red Cross?

None of my family and friends were affected but a large area in the coastal region was and there's a lot of damage, homeless people and death (557 so far, thousands wounded). A truly terrible catastrophe.

On an unrelated note, Teo, I've been thinking a lot about you after the quake of a few days ago. Hope your family and friends in Ecuador are OK! I know how it feels when such a disaster strikes one's country. The Abruzzo earthquake happened just a few months after I'd moved here.

it's the only thing that made me smile today. Also, let us hope that Mr. Martin remains ignorant of the existence of other musicians who I shall not name here lest they attract his attention. I'm not sure I can take much more of this.

There is no reason or explanation. It's simply random coincidence. |

57, he was young though. But still in the "may die" age. |

This day just keeps getting worse. First Prince, and now Richard Lyons of satiric sound collage gods Negativland.

Given the 22 age difference between you and I then that doesn't quite explain it. Also why does this year seem worse that last year, yet 2015 didn't seem any different to the year before? |

RIP. Always thought his were the best of the Bond movies. Battle of Britain and Force 10 from Navarone were also old favorites. Not to mention the others....
